Diagnosis. This and the next species have the enlarged white spot in the

genitalia as indicated below. T. hypocrites has more distinctly
red margins to the wings that contain white spots at the vein ends in the cilia.
Geographical range. N.E. Himalaya, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Sumatra, Borneo.

on Bukit Retak, Brunei. The holotype from Singapore is H.N. Ridley material and
may have been mislabelled.
